  1. as discussed, switch '71 for MLFoot; update the 3 genre posts with POSSIBLE INFLUENCES and SHORT summaries under each heading. I'll go through the MBL + 71 posts shortly. Post a brief reply comment when done acting on comment points (+ for any further additions). Plan now to focus on completing 1 key post at a time.

  2. Don't worry about dates just now, though in time these will need re-thinking, but 1 change please: your new choices of key genre case studies (you both need to update each others choices remember). Sam, we discussed switching to TisEng or Submarine with exam in mind too; Harriet ditto with '71.
